I found an old account where I have old posts. I thought I had a lot more than 315 posts, but here it is. My name doesn't show up in search, so I am seeing if posting a message causes it to clear out the dust in the pipes.

Edison International Unit Gets CPUC Nod for Pilot Program - Yahoo Finance Summary: "Edison International’s EIX wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern California Edison (“SCE”), won the approval from the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) to start a $22-million pilot program which...

I'm trying to stretch some money I got as far as possible on options for a Tesla, so here's what I came up with. See attached image included for my preliminary options. Here's my reasoning: + I need an exciting color. Blue is it, at $1,000. Second choice was Pearl White at $1,500. I miss the...

Checking price on TeslaMotors.Com of buying new 70D. I'm looking very closely at the options and what I can put off til later. I was under the impression that the base model comes with air suspension. Is that wrong? Obviously, with my understanding, the "Smart Air Suspension" option would mean...

Reading about the canary cackle over in that Hawaiian island about his "frequency" problems with such big solar farms made me realize the grid marketplace is very behind in understanding the relationship between generators and users. The generators set the frequencies, waveforms, etc. (Failure...

What is the color code for this? (Sighted today southbound US-I-Ca-880 Southbound at the 101 South exit)

First the good news. It looks like there was no one injured that I could see at the time I passed it. I live and work in an area where I see dozens of Teslas every day, so I think it's delightful to see more Teslas. The fact that I happen to see some involved in crashes is therefore inevitable...

I test drove a Tesla for the first time a few days ago. It was a new 85 model S. Overall I liked it. My concern that I would not fit in the cabin with comfort was not a problem. I found that the normal seats are more comfortable than the bucket seats that I have in my Mercedes which have those...
